Recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, use packs as flotation devices during basic water survival qualification Oct. 7, 2013, at the recruit training pool on Parris Island, S.C. Water survival qualification, which is a graduation requirement, includes swimming 25 meters, treading water for four minutes, jumping into water from a 10-foot tower and shedding heavy gear while underwater. Recruits wear full utility uniforms throughout the evaluation. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 6, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915.

Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Pfc. Vaniah Temple)
